On the occaRion of Artemus Warfl'i
professional visit to London, which oc-
curred not long before his death, J E.
Preston Muddook says in his book,
"Pages from an Adventurous Life,"
that the American humorist's adver-
tisements of his "show" were as full
of funny surprises as the lectures
themselves. One that tickled the gen-
oral public was this:
Artemus Ward Delivered Lectures
Before AH the Crowned Heads of Eu-
rope Ever Thought of Deliver-
ing lectures.
And an excerpt from his lecture on
"Drawing," is quoted by Mr. Muddock
as a particularly delightful bit.
"1 haven't distinguished myself as
an artist," Ward said, in his inimitable
way, "but have always been mixed up
in art. I have an uncle who takes
photographs in his sane moments, and
I have a servant who takes every-
thing he can lay his hands on at any
moment.
"At a very tender age I could draw
on wood. When a more child I once
drew a small cart-load of raw turnips
over a wooden bridge. It was a raw
morning. The people of the village
recognized me. They said it was a
raw-turnip drawing. That shows how
faithfully I had copied nature. 1 drew
their attention to it, so you see there
was a lot of drawing in it.
"The villagers, with wonderful dis-
cernment peculiar to villagers, said I
had a future beV>re me. As 1 was
walking backward when I made my
drawing 1 replied that 1 thought that
my future must be behind me."
Carroll, according to a bystander,
rocked the boat and the couple were
plunged into fifteen feet of water.
Other boats caine to their assistance
and they were quickly rescued.
is apparently the plan of Superior
n to appoint a popular
and young democrat, us the office be\

nently mentioned are: Attorney Geo.
A. Matlack. Attorney W. (' Hughes,
Attorney O. L. Price and Paul Nes-

CROW WORRIED THE GOLFERS
Bird of Fastidious Tastes Would
Swoop Down and Steal Only
the New Balls.
The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls In a way wholly peculiar
from the rest of the bird species. In
parks where the rook and the crow
abound one can notice them sitting
In the trees or hopping about the put-
ting greens in the distance watching
the ball with a direct or sidelong
glance expressive of the keenest in-
terest and curiosity, which is soon
translated into a desire to carry It off
to the roost in the neighboring wood.
The Kew gardens adjoin the Mid-
Surrey course, and In the royal pre-
serve there used to be a fairly large
colony of crows nesting among the
trees. Of this colony there was one
particular crow who found his greatest
amusement in mingling among the
golfers and In disconcerting their play
by indulging In repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
His policy was to hover in attend-
ance on those players who used new
white bulls only. Those on which the
paint had been chipped or which had
been used In play for several rounds
by an economical player were always
rejected by this particular bird as
being beneath his fastidious atten-
tion—From the Field.
For the flrst time this year District
Judge John J. Carney, Friday after-'
noon, heard a divorce case in cham-
being tlmt of Fern Rose Heddi-
cord against Jap Peddicord. The de-
■ree was granted.
Whisked up to the court room dool-
in a carriage, Mrs. Peddicord was
hustled to the judge s chambers, where
the hearing was immediately begun.
The decree was granted on the grounds
of non-support, it being Mrs. l'eddi-
oord's allegation thather husband had,
since their marriage, failed to contrib-
ute to her support iu any manner or
form.
Peddicord is well known throughout
the state as a politician. He was chief
committee clerk of the constitutional
convention ami for many year a car-
toonist. Peddicord designed the pres-
et state seal of Oklahoma.
Report (rom solicitors securing sig
natures to the state capital petition
indicate increasing favorable senti
nicut towards Oklahoma City the
p 'Iiuaneut abiding place of the staU
■apital. But, as in all great matter
of ktale, the people are not of one
mind. As might be expected, the ene-
my has thrown up its breastworks in
anticipation of the coining fray and
the way of the petition solicitors ha
not been entirely strewn with roses
There is marked opposition to Okla
Roma City at Purcell, Chandler, Sapul
pa, Weatherford, Tecumseh and, as
might lie anticipated, at Guthrie and
ihawnee.

Local attorneys are of the opinion
that the tax ferret law passed by the
last legislature, will nullify the origi-
nal law under which the state tax fer-
ret acted in the recent Oklahoma coun-
ty "tax dodging" cases.
It opinions of prominent Oklahoma
City lawyers ultimately prevail, "tax
dodgers" in the state of Oklahoma,
whose assessment have been ferreted
by Tax Ferreted Chas. II. Pittman,
will Ik" liable for taxes on non assess-
ed property only since statehood.
The lax ferret's probe extends back
over a period of ten years.
A Pleasant Afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon a pleasant socinl
was given at the home of Mrs. Spidel,
who entertained the Ladles' llible
lass of the Methodist Sunday school
from II to 5.
As the ladies arrivedMrs. Spidel pin-
on the back of each a piece of paper
on which was written the name of a
Bible character. A social half hour
was spent in handshaking, sociability
and in ascertaining who each lady
presented, in Bible character, which
was accomplished by asking each
other numerous questions.
At 3:Ii0 the ladies were called to or-
der by Mrs. Fansher, president of the
class. The Lord's prayer was repeat-
ed in concert. Some business was
transacted before the program wa
rendered in which Mrs. Cradler was
elected assistant secretary and Mrs.
McGaha was elected treasurer.
Mrs. Baldwin gave the history of
the class from its organization in lflOl
„„ the Bible class, with from 4 to (
ladies and about the same numliei
men. In January, 1907, the ladies
went into u class by themselves, w ill
twelve members. A year later tin
membership had increased to twenty
six. _ „
Mrs. Covill gave an interesting talk
on the spiritual growth of the class;
Mrs. Hull spoke about class organi-
zation and Mrs. Truitt talked on
thoroughness in lesson preparation.
Mrs. Murphy gave some interesting
notes on the state Sunday school con-
vention at Enid. Mrs. Border, class
secretary, gave the history of the
class from 1908 to the present time.
The class has increased in member-
ship f.-om 2«i to 55, with an average
attendance of 20. The class has fur.
nished six teachers for the Sunday
school.
Mrs. Spidel, at the clos* of the pro-
grain, in her gracious way. assisted
by her daughter, gave the ladies a
complete surprise by serving them
with ice cream and cake.
There were 24 members present, with I
three former members, now teachers, j
The invited guests were Mrs. Huffman j
and her friend. Mrs. Fisher.
The class has two teachers, Mrr.
Covill and Mrs. Spidel. A class pic- |

WHY
1892" Pure Spun Aluminum
Kitchen Ware
Is Better Than Aeate or EnnmcL
Because it is sanitary and saves your .
money, time and health. The genuine
spun aluminum ware, stamped with the
Maltese Cross, will outlast any other cook,
ing utensils and is guaranteed by the
makers for twenty-five years.
It is pure, wholesome and hygienic—no
danger of metal poisoning-cannot chrp
into the food, because pure SPUN Alumi-
num expands with the heat and will not
crack, scale or peel like the old style ware.
Enamel ware is iron coated with .col-
ored glass. Heat causes the glass to chip
off into the food in minute particles, which,
taken into the stomach, is apt to cause
serious troubles, including cancer, accord-
ing to some medical authorities.
"1892" Pure Spun Aluminum Ware is
made from solid Aluminum throughout-no
coating of glass-and expands uniformly
under heat. It cannot crack, scale, peel
like the out of date enameled utensils; it
does away with all possible danger from
this source.
You owe it to yourself, and to every
member of the* household, to give this new
and better kitchen ware a practical test.
If it fails t do what is claimed for it, you
get your money back without a quibble 01
a cross word.
At your dealers.

All Kind a
Madman's Wild Course.
Accordins to ndvlcea from Valla-
dnlld, Spain, a dangerous lunatic, who
was about to be confined to an asylum,
succeeded the other day In eluding the
vigilance of his friends and rushed
into the street. Here he fell upon a
policeman, and wresting his sword
from him, killed him with it. The
lunatic then took possession of the
man's revolver, and continued upon
his wild career through the city, fir-
ing right and left as he ran. A num-
ber of police and gendarmes started
In pursuit, emptying their rifles and
revolvers at the maniac, who was
eventually shot down, but not until he
had seriously wounded three per-
Bons. The noise of the firing caused
a panic, and the doors of houses and
shops were hastily shut. The excite-
ment aid not subside for some hours.
That the offices of the state corpo-
ration commission may be moved from
Qjtlirie to Oklahoma Clt.v or Shaw-
n e, was the statement of Col. A. P.
Watson, a member of the commission,
who was in Oklahoma City yesterday.
"Owners of the building in which
our officers are located have told us
that we must either move or make a
lease for the coming two years," said
Col. Watson. "The commission may
go anywhere in the state to hold court
and may stay as long as it likes. Of
course we would probably have to
maintain headquarters at Guthrie, but
the real business of the commission I
could lie carried on at some other! game 0|d price. See
place. As it looks now we surely do J ftt tha Harne8s shop,
not want to sign a lease for two years
longer."

What He Saved.
A prominent Democratic politician,
who lived at Allentown, was appointed
to the position of naval officer at Phil-
adelphia during the second Cleveland
administration. While In the city he
made a host of friends nd all of his
waking hours, when he was not en-
gaged In official duties, were spent
with these gentlemen, attending vari-
ous Interesting and costly entertain-
ments. At the expiration of his term
of office he returned home, and his
gootl mother, who was an old fash-
ioned German woman, said to him,
curiously:
"John, what did you save during
the four years you were In office?"
"Mother," he said, with a smile
lighting up his countenance, "I accom-
plished wonders—I saved my life."
At the Maseum.
"On this platform, ladles and gents,"
said the lecturer, "you see Sig.
Pankey, the legless wonder, or human
stump, who was reduced to the condi-
tion in which you behold him by a
shark In the Indian ocean 14 years
ago. Sig. Pankey, as you see, has no
legs whatever, and Ills principal aud
only occupation nowadays, ladles and
gents, Is eating his head off Proceed-
ing to the next platform, 1 call your
attention to the Egyptian mummy,
supposed to be that of Hameses the
Great."
That the Forest Cecil Mingle, alias
Harry Parker, murder trial will be one
of the hardest-fought legal battles in
the history of the state, is evidenced
by the exacting preparation being
